NHS

[SydneyRover]

This is not a snarky 'we have a better system than yours' post Filo but shows what a better funded system can provide. My own GP has just changed from being a single doctor surgery to a MyHealth franchise. I can book online and often get in on the same day but definately if I will see any doctor.

That's what a good system should be

''Parts of NHS 'seriously financially unstable', auditors find
Trust have built up debts of £10.9bn, which NAO says they are unlikely to ever repay''

Unless the government is going to oversee the shutdown of various facilities it may as well reach into that bottomless money pit now and pay all these debts off ......... pst .......... pst ......... what? ....... that was before the election, oh right thanks .............

  Sydney, most of the financial problems are caused by the introduction by LABOUR of PFI funding.
   A friend of mine went to a meeting representing Wakefield Council over the Pinderfields health trust at the time, and was thrown out of the meeting for objecting to the terms of the loan.
  The debt is now massive, and my friend? he was retired early.

I get what PFT is and who brought it in and no I don't like the situation but the tories picked it up and ran with it then starved the whole NHS for 10 years, you're talking about anchient history selby this is the here and now.

Just asking but did you get your free balaclava when you voted for johnson, the one without eyeholes?

  Syd I see you are going along with the common problem of denial that the Labour party supporters have, and could well keep you out of power for the next fifteen years, and could well make your party as insignificant as the Liberals.
  That is your future buddy if people like yourself don't start to  think, and project the party  differently, a slow hard fall into insignificance, left to post reams of statistics, that few can be bothered to read, but at least I suppose the main thing is, they make you feel superior to others, and smug about yourself. Poor little man.

  I wish other things were as predictable as this fish taking a bite and the float under.

Gee and I thought I was fishing

''Labour’s Gareth Thomas says his local hospital has not met its four-hour A&E target since 2014.

Johnson says the highest number of people ever attended A&E last month, 2m. The demand is exceptional. The government is responding with a record investment, he says''

Record investment for the tories maybe? the johnson connovirus is in plague proportions
